Right wing media caught lying, again

A story got published in the New York Post saying that the US government was giving out thousands of copies of Kamela Harris' book to migrant children crossing the border. This apparently caused a stir on the right where they spread this story as evidence of Kamela being corrupt. It turns out the entire story was a straight up lie. One (1) copy of the book was donated and photographed. And from that one copy of the book, the Post decided to lie and say that the government was giving them out to everyone. 

The reporter in question has now resigned saying that they were ordered to write the entirely false story. 

This is just yet another example of how low the right will sink to try to smear anyone and everyone they don't like. And as an added side note, when their lies were exposed, they didn't even take down the story. The took it down just long enough to modify it slightly to remove the obvious lies, but left the rest of the smear article up. So even though they now acknowledge they straight up lied, most of the people who read it will never realize that it was fake news. They will continue to believe that the US government is passing out Harris' book and it will be one more in a long line of right wing lies that they internalize. 

Lauren Boebert was still tweeting out this story as if it was true this evening.  Similarly, the Daily Mail took an academic article from Jan 2020 that examined the carbon benefits of limiting beef consumption to one meal per month and wrote a story last weekend baldly stating that Biden intends to introduce such a scheme.  Not a shred of evidence to the story.  Not one of the paper's authors or Biden administration official was interviewed- the UK rag  just flat out falsified some silly slander and called it news and then it ran all last weekend on Fox as fact.

Let's recall that when Rudy Giuliani was peddling the Hunter Biden laptop fiction just before last year's election, the NY Post was the only news source with standards low enough to print the obvious lies- many other conservative sources including Fox News, WSJ, and the Washington Examiner rejected the story as unfounded before the Post decided to publish.   Even so, the entire reporting staff at the Post refused to allow their byline to appear above the article.  The article was eventually attributed to a former Trump affiliate/Fox News producer who did not work on the story, had never appeared on any news byline before or since and was not even notified by the Post that they were naming her as the author of the article.

Such is integrity hey?

It's Kamala not Kamela, just so you know.

It isn't actually to be pronounced as Kamilla, it is to be pronounced as Kah-muh-lah.

It is from her Tamil parent that she is named, the letter 'a has just as many pronunciations as in English (with one more, as 'eh' is one of the softest pronunciations). In tamil the symbols that comprise her written first name are 'kah' 'mal' and 'ah' most likely, I don't knwo for certain but basically it goes by syllable combinations, not letter by letter.

Her name COULD be Kaa( as in 'bat' becoming Ba) meh (Kama being Kaa-meh) but there is absolutely no female name combination in Tamil where this would be followed by La, it would be Kamani, or Kamahai something structured like that. Even in Kamani it's 50/50 what type of 'a' sound it is and there's no Hindu goddess or anything amongst Muslim or Christian Tamils that would lead to such a name being realistic anyway.
